You know you’ve already had a conversation that starts like this … but is your friend really to blame? You saw the camera last night, you know everything ends up on Facebook, but still you pose to be papped doing body shots with Cowgirl Crystal, who really didn’t look like a man at the time!
The [...]

Without wanting to offend the 0.0000000000036% of the world’s population that still believe in Creationism, I’m going to put it out there that I believe in Evolution. I believe that the human species as it is today wasn’t created by some all-powerful deity and dumped into a Garden Paradise approximately 4,500 years ago, but rather [...]

It seems 2009 has been a tough year all round, and everyone seems to be feeling the pinch. Retrenchments, foreclosures, cutbacks and bankruptcies seemed to be everywhere, but the good news is that 2010 is looking up…
Aside from 2010 being an even numbered year (don’t we all hate odd years?!) there’s a lot of positive [...]

Ok now before the cocky comments start flying, that’s a rhetorical question… I mean other than Dorin’s new haircut, we’re clearly all virile, young primates that are still a few decades off needing the little blue sergeant major to help us stand to attention. So when I logged on to our blog this morning to [...]

My mac has gone in for some TLC from the good people at iComputing and I have discovered something wonderful. For all those FOMO suffering Mac owners who get stomach cramps every time they see the price tag on a new model and ulcers every time they think about how shockingly out of date their [...]

Late last night, comfortably tucked into my bed, Ninja Turtle PJ’s and hot cup of cocoa in tow, I was disturbed by the shrill tone of my Blackberry announcing a Facebook message had arrived. As it turned out, some helpful soul (who I am “friends” with apparently) was kindly letting me know that my services [...]

The WCT is into it’s 6th stop and it’s the Hurley Pro at Trestles, in California. Like all the other major surf brands that sponsor WCT events they have a live feed so that millions of surf fans around the world can follow the action in real time. They’re also providing live links and [...]

I’ve frequently had the fortune of seeing dolphins swim past while surfing and I am equally fortunate in that I haven’t ever seen one of those less welcome yet equally hyped sea creatures: the Shark. Until earlier this week. And then I practically sharted in my wetsuit. Which is very similar to an experience I [...]

Jesus’ sermon on the mount may be a little over the top, but the analogy isn’t. When a man widely recognised as one of the most influential on the internet along with a well respected programmer and the senior writer of an influential tech news service all abandon the iPhone for a variety of reasons, [...]

The Solar System is part of the Milky Way galaxy. Other planetary systems have cool names, like Upsilon Andromedae and Gliese 581. We get “The Solar System”. I think that’s pretty lame. Kinda like naming your car model after one component. And I doubt neither Ford nor Citroen are gonna be releasing the Handbrake 1.8xl [...]
